Morning, Bridget,

         I was bienucleated at age 2 and experienced non-24 
during
high school. Then, I begin using meletonin supplements to 
regulate my
sleep. I am not familiar with the migraines you speak of. Try to
regulate, though, via meds (preferably natural things such as
meletonin supplements or marijuana) might help your migraines, 
too!
Keep us posted?

Sorry to hear about this. I wish I could give you some advice
specific to the illness. However, this may be obvious but make 
sure
your disability services provider on campus knows about this and 
has
documentation. You may need it to get extensions or makeups etc. 
in
the future.

Best wishes
Derek

 Hi everyone,
 This is not my usual kind of thread. I was just diagnosed with a
 very complicated migraine disorder that mimics seizures caused 
by
 lack of blood flow to parts of my brain due to swelling. Yeah 
sorry
 it sounds really bad but, I want this to be clear. I had to get 
an
 EEG to rule out epilepsy. When I got the EEG we found out I had
 very weird sleep patterns. There were some days when I would get 
no
 sleep at all and others when I would fall asleep at 11:00 in the
 morning without being aware of the time. My neurologist 
determined
 I had non24 and put me on a supplement I have only been on it 
sins
 Friday. My body is far from adjusted. When I have a migraine I
 quite literally just crash. I have this seizure like thing then, 
I
 have to medicate quickly, and then I fall asleep. I can not help
 but sleep with a migraine so powerful.
 Aside from my issues with migraines, I was wondering if anyone
 has dealt with symptoms of non24 while attending college. How 
did
 you adjust your sleep schedule while completing assignments? 
Were
 you ever able to train yourself to sleep at the correct time?
 Any advice is appreciated.
 Bridget
